Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

It is turkey time!

Lots of ways to serve the Lord!

We had a packed house!

Susan gave a devotion reminding us that even when we are overwhelmed we need to remember that we are also overshadowed by God's love that never leaves us!

Ms. Ruby, Melinda and her Aunt, Katrina and son Hayden, Debbie and Jatu listen to devotions.

Lisa, Margaret with baby Victoria on board, Sandy and Telina await the lunch!

What a delicious meal: turkey, cranberry salad, stuffing, roll, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, and squash casserole with a pumpkin cupcake for dessert.

This blessing card was given to each guest and was created by the residents at John Reed Nursing Home where The Joyful Noise River Choir sings several times a year.
